Silhouette by Christophe Pillet

Silhouette, amphora, bottle. From the incomparable beauty, the two bottles by Christophe Pillet crafted by Poggi Ugo terracottas. These sculptural objects feature a subtle scaling of dimensions, finding their balance when used in pairs or multiples. As indicated by the designs provided by the French architect Pillet, the technical drawing consists solely of circles that define the profile of the belly and long neck in various sizes. The silhouettes are even more elegant and intriguing when made with the ‘grigiolava’ mixture, giving them a thoroughly modern look. They serve as decorative vases for living rooms, showrooms, hotel lobbies, and restaurants, or outdoors near pools, in minimalist or innovative environments. As sculptural objects, they complement compositions with spheres or cubes from the Poggi Ugo collection.

Like all terracottas produced by Poggi Ugo, they are resistant to cold and frost at low temperatures.

Clarity of expression and a pursuit of simplicity are the guiding principles of Christophe Pillet’s work.
